- Abstract:
-
In order to evaluate the slope land soil profile water changes in the Loess Plateau owing to returning farmland to forest (grass) project, the effects of different regions and different land use patterns on water content of different soil profiles in the project of returning farmland to forest (grass) through integration analysis was investigated. The results showed that the soil water content in the steppe and forest steppe zone decreased significantly, and the soil water content decreased with the increase of soil depth; while soil moisture content of the forest zone did not change significantly, and it increased first and then decreased with the increases of soil depth; the soil moisture deficit in forest steppe zone was the most serious among the three zones due to the conversion of returning farmland to forest (grass) project. Therefore, vegetation restoration in arid and semi-arid areas should select the appropriate vegetation recovery mode based on the local natural conditions and species characteristics of vegetation.
